Overview
The Embassy of France in Jakarta represents France in Indonesia and Timor-Leste. France and Indonesia signed a Strategic Partnership in 2011, cooperating on defence, trade, climate change, and cultural exchange. The embassy provides consular services to French nationals across the archipelago, supported by consular agencies in Bali, Makassar, and Surabaya. Indonesia is an increasingly popular destination for French travellers — Bali, Java, and Komodo attract visitors via connections through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or the Middle East.Read moreRead less
Visa Services
The consular section processes visa applications for French residents in Indonesia requiring French consular services. For Indonesian nationals seeking French/Schengen visas, applications are handled through the TLScontact visa application centre.
Service Area
The embassy serves all of Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Consular agencies in Bali, Makassar, and Surabaya provide additional local support. The Bali consular agency is particularly active given the high volume of French tourists visiting the island.
